The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus is that without the "Inc." part of the name is the WP:COMMONNAME. (non-admin closure) JudgeRM   (talk to me)  20:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Williams-Sonoma → Williams-Sonoma, Inc. – The content of the page references Williams-Sonoma, Inc., the publicly-traded retail company, but the title of the page incorrectly references Williams-Sonoma, the cookware brand underneath the umbrella of Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

 * No, it doesn't. "Williams-Sonoma" refers to the company all throughout the article, except for the brand of the same name. That cookware has only one mention (in the "Brands" section), and is not significantly discussed. Also per WP:NCCORP, oppose. &mdash; Mediran  [talk]  03:06, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose The brand is commonly known as Williams-Sonoma. See WP:COMMONNAME. Daylen (talk) 04:59, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Per WP:COMMONNAME. Meatsgains (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Accept The brand is commonly known as Williams-Sonoma, however this does not take into account the several brands under the company of Williams-Sonoma, Inc.. The first line of the article differentiates the content is in reference to Williams-Sonoma, Inc. which should be reflected in the title. Lmurphy1 (talk) 18:21, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * There are two distinct websites as well http://www.williams-sonomainc.com/ and http://www.williams-sonoma.com/ Lmurphy1 (talk) 18:55, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
 * This would be similar to how the Macy's Inc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy's,_Inc. and Macy's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy's articles are differentiated. Lmurphy1 (talk) 00:35, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
